For those that haven't watched I would suggest watching the Elon Musk interview with 60 minutes he just did for insight on how entrepreneurs like Solomon think and run businesses. Many of SIAF's problems due to Solomon are because of his entrepreneurial attitude towards this business. If you read last Q-report it's clear he's finally focused on running a more lean, smaller, and cash flow focused business going forward.

The part below talking about people calling him a "liar" for being late and screwing things up sounds very familiar...

Lesley: It’s not a car for the “every-man” which is what you set out to build.
Elon: It’s getting there. We’re not that far from being able to produce that $35,000 car; It’ll be ready in probably 5 or 6 months.
Lesley: Alright here you go, you’ve already set a new deadline, right 5 or 6 months?
Elon: That’s just my guess. It’s not like some promise or so help me God and strike me dead.
Lesley: You are notorious for setting these deadlines for yourself that no one thinks you can meet and you often don’t meet. And I’m just wondering why you do that?
Elon: Well punctuality is not my strong suit. Well why do people who think that if I’ve been late on all the other models that I won’t with this one?
Lesley: Your naysayer say that you lie, that’s the way they interpret it.
Elon: People should not ascribe to malice that which can easily be explained by stupidity. So it’s like, just because I’m dumb at predicting dates does not mean I am untruthful. I never made a mass produced car. How am I supposed to know with precision when it’s going to get done?
